Extreme Left Tear Down Statues of People Who FOUGHT Racists
What she says around 16:30 is the best comment.
Making Sense with Sam Harris #207 – Can We Pull Back From The Brink?
Sam Harris’ atheo-liberal-quasi-neocon-“Islamophobia” has never appealed to me. But Blue Tribe Khomeinism runs the risk of pushing members of the liberal class rightward (the standard social democrat to neocon pipeline). In this episode of the podcast, Sam Harris speaks about the recent social protests and civil unrest, in […]
Kamala Harris: “Everyone can finally bear witness to the violence” against Black citizens by police
Kamala Harris would be the ruling class’ ideal figurehead at this point. A “woman of color” who consolidates the totalitarian humanist ideological framework with the left hand, while strengthening the police/carceral state with the right hand. Sen. Kamala Harris speaks on the Senate floor about historical and modern […]
Trump proposes ‘long-term jail sentences’ for vandalizing statues
Speculation: The state may attempt to co-opt the protests/rebellion with the left hand by exploiting it in order to strengthen the totalitarian humanist ideological superstructure, while seek to expand police state repression with the right hand by bringing conspiracy and other charges against protest leaders.
Bolton’s warmongering, taxcut style GOP should NEVER come back
Is the Republican civil war between neocons/traditional hawks/supply siders and Trumpists/neo-realists/faux populists heating up? Saagar Enjeti blasts John Bolton’s ABC News interview where he admits Trump’s plan to negotiate a peace treaty with the Taliban was Bolton’s ‘last stra
CNN viewers REVOLT after journalist correctly says ‘Biden is a flawed candidate’
It sounds like the Blue Tribe true believers spend too much time watching their televangelists. Krystal and Saagar react to White House correspondent for the New York Times Maggie Haberman call Biden a ‘flawed candidate’ on CNN.
Hannity: America’s liberal cities in crisis
Hannity’s tirade during the opening of this segment is hilarious.
The Suicide of the Left
I have warned that the present wave of culture war vandalism and arson could quite possibly provoke a right-wing, “law and order” backlash. Bill Lind, the leading theorist of fourth generation warfare, seems to agree. Although I think Lind is discounting or ignoring the massive demographic, cultural, generational, […]
Protesters Demand ICE Empty Its Jails as COVID-19 Continues to Spread
This happened a few weeks ago. The fact that these folk are only protesting ICE jails and not ALL jails shows that they have not yet developed authentic lumpen proletarian revolutionary class consciousness but are merely Blue Tribe Khomeinists. Democracy Now In immigration news, advocates across the country […]
Krystal & Saagar CALLED OUT By Lefty Magazine
Kyle’s reply to Nathan Robinson in this is pretty good. The problem that I have with Robinson, Krystal, Saager, and Kyle alike is that they are all statist-reformists of one kind or another. Saager is an economic nationalist, Kyle and Krystal are social democrats, and Robinson is an […]
Silence of the Swine: Abolish the Police and Bring Back the Panthers
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley One thing that has become crystal fucking clear to any sane sentient creature with a pulse who has paid attention to current events over the last month is the fact that America’s cherished fascist institution known as the […]
Revolution from the Bottom Up
When I was an orthodox left-wing anarchist, one of the things that eventually led to my present heterodox positions was the observation that every leftist revolution in which anarchists participated led to the repression of the anarchists by authoritarian leftists, or by right-wing reactionaries who managed to gain […]
The Great Statue Debate
Kyle is merely criticizing standard right-wing dumbassery in much of this, but one of the most important points he raises is that evidence shows that a majority of the US public still opposes removing Confederate monuments, and super-majority opposes removing historic American monuments. When leftist revolutions fail, and […]
Why the Rich are Revolting
This article discusses the very important point that authoritarian/leftist revolutions are always carried out by the left-wing of the upper middle class almost as a matter of general historical law. Revolts can come from any layer of society. Historically, there have have revolts by slaves, peasants, workers, ethnic […]
Create Your Own Reality
“Rather than view ‘Western civilisation’ as something that must be saved in its entirety, I would prefer to see those with a ‘conservative’ mentality adopt a more eclectic approach. To pick and choose, define one’s own borders, create your own realities, distinguish between authentic culture and a national […]
Why LGBT People Should Be Conservative
In recent years, I have noticed an increasingly greater number of people from traditional outgroups who refer to themselves as “conservative,” just as I have noticed a growing wave of right-wing anti-capitalism. Obviously, these trends reflect the current establishmentarian tendency of blending cultural integration with intensified class oppression. […]
An Interview with PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan
Murray Bookchin was the one post-classical anarchist who actually inspired an anarchist revolution. The PKK & Their Leader (1998): A report on the PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ Party) and their leader Abdullah Öcalan.
Chris Hedges: Seeing Through Faux-Solidarity Performance Stunts Of Police Politicians & Corporations
A high priest (literally) of the far-left sees through the neoliberal cooptation effort.
The Left Has Gone Far Beyond ‘Relativism’
As a moral relativist and cultural relativist in the anti-humanist tradition, I have actually been criticized by both Left and Right for holding such views. I’m generally not moral enough for either side, lol. By Paul Gottfried The American Conservative Around the middle of the last century, American […]
Krystal Ball: A response to our critics
This is an interesting discussion of how the Left and Right increasingly regard each other as existential threats. My take on the Red Tribe/Blue Tribe cold war is pretty much the same as my take on the Sunni/Shia conflict in the Middle East, the Protestant/Catholic conflict in Ireland, […]
Tucker: No one attempted to stop Democratic power grab
One important insight that Carlson provides in this, in the midst of his Spiro Agnew impersonation, is that the near universal consensus among the power elite has been in favor of cooptation rather than repression of the insurrection, and that even the right-wing of the ruling class does […]
Far-right ‘boogaloo’ extremists may ‘target’ Washington, DC, intelligence assessments say
By Sonam Smith Business Insider Two new intelligence assessments warned that far-right individuals associated with the ‘boogaloo’ movement may soon target Washington, DC, Politico reported. One note, from the National Capital Region Threat Intelligence Consortium (NTIC), said that “the District is likely a target for violent adherents of […]
NBC News tries to team up with Google to DESTROY independent media
As the New Church, corporate media and Big Tech connive to impose censorship on heretics and to conveniently eliminate their business competitors in the process. Krystal and Saagar discuss NBC News’ apparent push to have Google remove conservative sites from the search giant’s ad platform.
Victor Davis Hanson | Protests Are More French Revolution Than American
Most of my politics are the polar opposite of VDH’s and Eric Metaxas is a fuckhead but Hanson raises some interesting points in this. Regrettably, the uprising has also unleashed beyond-parody levels of totalitarian humanism in some corners. I disagree that the current situation is on par with […]
GOP backs Gorsuch’s LGBTQ decision after conservative blowback
The standard left/right pathological obsession with the Supreme Court as justification for electoralism has been totally debunked. The “God Hates Fags” crowd may be pissed, but the Republican leadership and their plutocratic benefactors couldn’t care less. More wage slaves, more fodder for the imperial legions, more voters to […]
Was Malcolm X Right? Separatism, Social Conservatism, Rothbard, and Self Determination
Paleolibertarian Murray Rothbard was a supporter of Malcolm X and Black Power.
First came a pandemic. Then, looting. Small businesses pick up the pieces as their debt mounts.
A reflection on the problem of interclass and intra-lumpen proletarian conflict. Many positive things have happened in the uprising. These include the mass participation of normies and civilians (non-revolutionaries) in protests and civil disobedience against the state, along with direct attacks on the state such as the destruction […]
Major Theories Of History From The Greeks To Marxism
The Blue Tribe/Red Tribe conflict is essentially a religious conflict. The Blue Tribe is a religious coalition of adherents of the neo-pagan, Enlightenment-derived religion of reason, progress, and human perfectibility, various forms of “progressive” Christianity, and secularized neo-Christianity (like Marxism). The Red Tribe is a coalition of adherents […]
Police detain armed militia members after man is shot at Albuquerque protest
By Katie Shepherd Washington Post Protesters in Albuquerque wrapped a chain around the neck of a bronze statue and began tugging, chanting, “Tear it down,” shortly before sunset on Monday. Their efforts to pull down a monument of Spanish conquistador Juan de Oñate suddenly stopped as four shots […]
Is The US Left Too Middle-Class? ft. Vivek Chibber
The Leftist Case Against Censorship ft. Ben Burgis
Justice Department Targeting Antifa, Not Finding It Anywhere
There is not nearly enough Antifa to carry out an insurrection like the recent one.
Tucker on the incredible popularity of Black Lives Matter
The statistical data Carlson cites at the beginning of this is interesting. Black Lives Matter may be the single most powerful political party in the United States.
How Public Opinion Has Moved on Black Lives Matter
That articles like this keep appearing in the New York Times clearly indicates that the elite strategy is to protect the state by making it appear as though police state excesses are merely a racial issue, as opposed to the race issue merely being a symptom of the […]
Supreme Court says federal law protects LGBTQ workers from discrimination
As I would have predicted. I have said before that the constant Red Tribe/Blue Tribe bickering over Supreme Court appointments is irrelevant. Contentious social issues are decided on the basis of the prevailing consensus of the dominant factions of the power elite and general managerial class. Period. The […]
Burning Down the 3rd Police Precinct Changed Everything
I’m not so sure that it did. What I find most fascinating about the recent low-intensity insurrection is not the insurrection itself but the near-total indifference of the ruling class combined with the immediate move of vast sectors of the ruling class to co-opt the insurgency, from the […]
Yes, We Mean Literally Abolish the Police
While I agree with 99% of this article, I’m a bit suspicious as to why the New York Times (“Voice of the Ruling Class”-Abbie Hoffman) was willing to publish it. It seems like some kind of co-optation scheme is in the works. The left-wing of the ruling class […]
Zapatistas to extend their control with 11 more autonomous zones in Chiapas
They’re doing this with the acquiescence of the Mexican President, just as CHAZ is existing with the apparent acquiescence of local and state governments of Seattle and Washington, which raises some interesting questions about anarchist strategy. Mexico News Daily The Zapatistas are on the move in Chiapas, extending […]
The Vanishing Tradition: Perspectives on American Conservatism
Paul Gottfried recently published a new anthology through Cornell to which I have a contribution. A collection of high-brow conservative scholars (plus crazy anarchist me) explains why the FOX News-type conservatives and neocons are a bunch of scam artists.
‘The Five’ spar over legitimacy of Seattle’s ‘autonomous zone’
If these FOX News reactionaries were as “anti-establishment” or “anti-big government” as they pretend they would be creating “autonomous zones” of their own. What a shame they’re really just mouthpieces for the right-wing of the ruling class.
Hannity: Anarchy reigns supreme in Seattle
If only it were true. Roadblocks, checkpoints, barricades, armed vigilantes: Anyone with a functioning brain knows this is unacceptable.
An Interesting Observation
It’s interesting that the four lead articles on ATS right now are from an anarcho-capitalist, a conservative libertarian, a left-communist, and a social anarchist. There’s another writer with a piece on the way arguing against the insurrection from a Hobbes-Burkean-Schmittian perspective.
Broken Economy, Broken Society, and the Prospects for Liberty
By Stratton J. Davis Looking at the daily news these past couples of weeks one may have the pessimistic opinion that what was left of liberty will soon be gone. Even before the recent riots, which has President Trump and his GOP goons threatening the US people with […]
The Conservatives: Not Fit for Any Honest Purpose
By Alan Bickley Ludwig von Mises Centre According to The Daily Mail, Madeline Odent is the Curator of the Royston Museum in Hertfordshire. This museum is funded by Royston Council. In the past few days, Mrs Odent has taken to Twitter, giving expert advice on how to use […]
The Mainstream Media Will Not Tell the Truth About Black Lives Matter
The right-wing uses BLM, Antifa, and an-coms as all-purposes bogeymen in the same way the left-wing uses white nationalists and Russians for the same purpose. Probably the most radical thing that has come out of the uprising so far has been the actual burning of police precincts and […]
Haunted by the Ghost of Lenin
Neo-communism has gained in popularity in recent years, which I find to be a very negative development, mostly because, unlike neo-nazism and neo-fascism, it doesn’t receive the universal condemnation of civil society, opinion leaders, and the new clerisy (except for the FOX News blowhards that use it as […]
Why Are Conservative “Liberty Lovers” Backing Authoritarian Cops?
Having followed these kinds of controversies for decades, I’d say conservatives are often pretty good at opposing excesses by Democrats, liberals, and leftists (some of the time), while the Left is pretty good at opposed excesses by Republicans (some of the time). It all depends on the context […]
Joe Biden’s ideal VP is Condoleezza Rice
If I were a political comedy writer, I couldn’t make up stuff any better than this. I would indeed agree that this would make for the ideal neocon/neoliberal ruling class unity regime. It is clear that ruling class elements, whatever their differences, realize dissent is growing from all […]
Ingraham: Democrats cancel America
I totally disagree with Laura here, but not for the usual reasons. So far I have actually seen very little “canceling America” going on in the present uprising. Unlike Berkeley or Charlottesville, which were low-grade sports riots carried out by rookie-league middle-class gangs, the present uprising is a […]
Hundreds of protesters enter Seattle City Hall along with councilmember Sawant
Kshama Sawant is a Trotskyist, but I have no problem with her leading the “revolution” in Seattle. As far I’m concerned, Seattle can be a commie city-state if that’s what people there want to do, just like Portland or Eugene can be an Antifa city-state. And Tyler, Texas […]
